Our FAQs

Novatio is the world’s first modular gaming console based on the Linux operating system called NovOS. The main feature of this console is the possibility to play all PC and Android Games!
Our console is fully customizable which means you have the possibility to change and substitute its components, adapting itself to your gaming needs, this way you will always keep up to date with the changes in the world of technology!

Novatio will be world’s first console using PC hardware which allows anybody to find them easily and let the user personalize their console as they wish.
The components that can be changed are: CPU, Graphic Card, Hard Disk, RAM, PSU. A simple way to find new components is just one of the features of a customizable console. Novatio is also projected in a smooth way that allows any user to change its internal parts quickly and easily. You will not need a specific person in order to change its composition, even a kid could do it!

Linux is open source and can easily be updated. We have decided to apply its simple concept to Project Novatio hardware. We do think that changing your devices every 5 years is not wealth healthy and a bad concept so we have created a way to keep your hardware up to date.
Changing the main components of the console is quick and easy. The internal part of the machine is sorted into modules and in order to change, for example, the graphic card, all you have to do is pushing a button.

Novatio will have NovOs as operating system, a customized Debian derivate, along with our mainboard it can execute Windows software.
Our mainboard uses a FPGA chip that will have the revolutionary feature of executing software “.exe” on NovOS. In the souce code of our OS there are the codes to interface the chip with any .exe program downloaded on the console allowing its execution, this feature will make NovOS compatible with all kind of Windows programs opening new ways into a new future for Linux.
Thanks to this extraordinary method it will be possible to play the whole Steam, Origin and Uplay libraries!
In future we are looking forward to the creation of a PCI board that allows to use NovOS outside Novatio and to use its incredible features!

Our console is not a Steam Machine. The issue with them is that they were limited to the small library of games offered on Linux. The lack of games made the concept fail on the large scale.
Novatio is the future. It will become what the Steam Machine failed to be.

There will be two versions of Novatio with different standard hardware specs. Novatio will be cheaper and slightly smaller, Novatio Pro will more pricy and bigger but both versions will remain high in the performances.

Our goal is to change the world of gaming on Linux forever with this console. By doing so, it would be a big step for the free-open source operating systems because an user wouldn’t have to choose anymore between “Having many games on Windows” or “Having an open source system”. If the crossing happens, it will be a huge step for everybody.
